Waiting a few seconds in php

[turbohost]

Hi Guys,

How can I tell a PHPscript to wait for a few seconds before going to the next step?

Turbo

I haven't tested this but, if you are on a *nix machine, you might want to try

//some code
$num_seconds=3;
$result = shell_exec("sleep $num_seconds");
//the rest of your code

I don't know of a similar command on a win machine.

I hope this helps

PHP has it's own builtin sleep function.
